I've also found this - http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/xerox_onetouch_2400.html which says "You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software but be sure to to set up libusb device protections on Linux."
I would highly recommend Vuescan - OK, it's not free-as-in-beer or free-as-in-speech (although there is a free trial), but it totally resurrected my old Canoscan FS4000 film scanner (for which there's no Sane support and probably never will be) which was previously just gathering dust and which was about to be put on eBay. It also made a much better job of driving a bog-standard Genius/KYE flatbed scanner (I could /never/ get Sane to access/set the Gamma setting that this particular scanner supports so the scans were always a bit dark and weird).
It's meant that I've been able to scan nearly 14,000 frames from my old negatives (over the last couple of years) from photos dating back to the mid 1980s, with great results. This, to me, was absolutely worth the $50 or whatever it was.
And no - I'm not an employee or on commission!
